[quote=Anonymous]I'm a little too late to this party, but. . . my vote would be for Spanish unless you think he's already well-enough equipped on Spanish and can add Latin as a bonus to his language skills. I agree with those who comment on the utility of Latin, it's useful for understanding the underpinnings of the Romance languages. But honestly, I think it's underrated how much it also goes in reverse. If you study Spanish you also get insights into Latin, French, Italian, etc. The insights don't all flow in one direction. For practical utility Spanish is obviously useful, of course, but it shares with Latin the property of being a window into the common elements underlying the romance languages.[/quote]
